Hamas leader Sinwar dead

Reported just on Sky

I've raised this a couple of times. If Israel does indeed take down Hamas, who in Gaza would be in any position to negotiate on behalf of the Palestinians? Would Israel just carry on looking for ever smaller targets? Would Gazans respect any settlement that was negotiated on their behalf? Would another regional power, or the 57 perhaps, be able to fill the void before Iran re-establishes it's hegemony?

Could they not have made an exchange - Sinwar for the hostages and end the war?

Really good question! I am also not shedding tears if he is dead.

Confirmed by IDF.

He'd already been released as part of the Gilad Schalit prisoner exchange, so I can understand the reluctance to let him have another crack at it.

If so I hope this is the start of the end of the war. Negotiate a deal and end the war. No more bombing schools like the one that was bombed this morning. End the massacre of the Palestinian people. End the rockets into Israel. Free the hostages and free the innocent Palestinians that are held unfairly by Israel. End the occupation and let this be the start of a two state solution. Allow the Palestinians the right of self determination with dignity.

Why on earth would they even consider that after 7 October?

Because they have always said the whole thing was about “getting the hostages back”?

But not at the cost of releasing the architect of 7 October. That would be insane.

Will hamas release the innocent civilian hostages and sending daily rockets, drones etc. Into Israel now?

Excellent news. One less murderous bastard

Because they have always said the whole thing was about “getting the hostages back”?

No the eradication of Hamas was also a stated goal. The different approach to achieving the two objectives did cause huge controversy though.

'Controversy' is an understatement, they are committing a genocide.

One last time, just because terrorists and their propagandists tell you it’s a genocide, that doesn’t mean you should believe them. Engage your brain, for god’s sake.

Confirmed. I hope this brings us closer to the end of the war and to the hostages coming back.

Great. So now Israel can stop bombing civilians in order to find him I assume.

Great news, Israel will never fire another bullet at a Palestinian child again, torture a prisoner or allow settlers to land grab.

Confirmed.

Excellent news, hopefully we'll now see the return of the hostages, the cessation of attacks on Israel and the eviction of hamas. I look forward to seeing the marchers celebrating it this weekend...

Seriously you're using a propaganda article to accuse a poster of using propaganda

The irony is probably lost on them.

Fathom is a perfectly well respected publication.

I’m sure there will be a legal ruling on whether it was a genocide or not. I am also hoping that people will now have more bandwidth to look at Sudan.

Will it? One of Israel's top ministers has just been reported to say that Israel will remain in Gaza for many years to come despite Sinwar's killing.
